The Movement
Print For The Cure is a web platform aiming to mobilize all makers to combat the critical shortage of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Some PPE, such as face shields, mask comfort straps, and hand-less door openers can be easily produced at home. We connect makers/donors capable of producing PPE to essential workers/requesters in need.
How It Works in 5 Easy Steps:
- Essential Workers can submit requests for PPE.
- Donors must register through the website.
- Anyone can browse PPE requests on a map, and registered donors can view requests nearest to them.
- Registered donors can claim requests, after which they are connected with their requester.
- Donors fulfill their claimed requests for PPE and arrange delivery with their requester.
By using this platform,
- Essential workers can benefit by receiving critical Protective Equipment.
- Donors can help save the lives of their doctors & essential workers.
- Requesters are welcome to give monetary donations to their donors upon fulfillment of their request.

Meet The Team
Michael Zeng
Founder and Backend Programmer
Hi I'm Michael, from San Diego CA! I help manage the project and program the back-end. I started 3D printing and delivering face shields with my robotics team "The Clueless" FTC, and seeing the inefficiencies of personally creating and delivering shields to an overwhelming demand, I founded the project with a goal of removing the bottle-neck of a single distribution center. Your support can make this idea a reality!
Subash Shibu
Frontend Programmer
I am Subash, a junior at Dublin High School. I wanted to help stop the spread of Covid-19, and created my own gofundme and helped make and distribute shields. Seeing as this website could be more efficient, I jumped in and helped program the front-end as well as market our platform.

I'm Marcus Jaiclin, aka Dr. J. I teach Computer Science, Robotics and am co-chair of the Creative Sciences Department at The Bishop's School. I enjoy working with students to push the boundaries of what they thought was possible with their knowledge, and work with Robocup Junior to expand what high school students can do with robots. It was great to be able to help students with amazing projects like this.
